Hi. DD is 8.5months old and will have a new brother or sister in April. I childmind a 15 month old who has a dummy. DD has never had one, was offered one when tiny but didnt take to it (was BF until 2 weeks ago). Sbe now is constantly on a mission to get his dummy! She will take it out of his mouth or off the floor and put it in her mouth.
DH, Mum, MIL, SIL all think I should start DD on a dummy and hope it makes her sleep better. I feel that she is too old to start now and by the time she gets attched to it, it will be time to take it off her. And I hate seein babies walking round with Dummies in their mouths.
They all seem to think I am being "mean" and should give it to her to help her get used to the new baby. She already has a comfort toy thing she goes to bed with or has when she is upset.
AIBU?
